Jason Oddy : Influencing Space
Royal Pump Rooms : Leamington Spa :
Information Source : Press Release
Royal Pump Rooms Art gallery and Museum
The work of photographer and critic Jason Oddy is an investigation of architectural space. His clinical rendering of interiors seeks to explore the ways in which the built environment manages and orders our lives.
Oddy's approach is contemplative. His striking large-scale works capture places as diverse as the UN Headquarters, airport chapels, morturaries, advertsing agency lobbies and Soviet sanatoria. They challenege us to to consider the empty environments they portray, not as the neutral places they ostensibly claim to be, but rather as sites of coercion designed to produce preordained effects in everyone who passess through them.
The exhibition has been brought to the Royal Pump Rooms in collaboration with The Photographers Gallery, London. All images copyright of the photographer Jason Oddy.
